Chen Gang (Chinese: 陈刚; born May 1966) is a former Chinese politician. Best known for his term in Beijing beginning in 2006, Chen played a prominent role in constructing the venues of the Beijing Olympics and subsequent urban development projects.[1] Elevated to the municipal standing committee in 2012, Chen seemed destined for higher office. However, he was abruptly moved to the North-South Water Transfer project in 2017. He was disgraced in 2019 and is currently under investigation for graft.[2]
